GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Fall baseball heats up for Florida in week five as the Gators prepare to host two fall exhibition contests against the Ontario Blue Jays and Mercer Bears on Wednesday and Sunday, respectively.
After practicing at 2 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Florida welcomes the Blue Jays, a Canadian amateur team, to Condron Family Ballpark on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. for a nine-inning exhibition game. On Sunday, the Gators take on Mercer at 2 p.m. in a 12-inning matchup. Both home games are free to attend for all fans.
All fall practices, exhibition contests and scrimmages are open to the public. Fans can access the concourse through Gate 3 of Condron Family Ballpark (located directly behind home plate).
Below is the full practice schedule for week five. All practice and approximate scrimmage times are subject to change.
*Scrimmages typically begin approximately 90 minutes to two hours into each practice
Additionally, Florida's fall season features one remaining home exhibition after this week: Sunday, Nov. 8 vs. Air Force. First pitch is set for 11 a.m. and is free to attend for all fans.
The Gators are 2-0 in exhibition games this fall, having defeated South Florida (W, 10-6) and Troy (W, 15-5) by a combined margin of 25-11.
Entering the 2027 season, the Gators have advanced to a nation-high, 18-consecutive NCAA Tournaments dating back to Head Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's debut campaign in 2008. Although Florida leads the country with nine trips to the College World Series in the last 17 years, the Orange & Blue is looking to return to Omaha for the first time since making back-to-back appearances from 2023-24.
